DNA methylation repels targeting of Arabidopsis REF6
REF6 is a H3K27me3 histone demethylase that targets regions of active chromatin in the Arabidopsis genome. Here Qiu et al. show that REF6 preferentially binds unmethylated DNA via its zinc-finger domains suggesting that DNA methylation might deter REF6 binding in heterochromatin.
